Her nipples are still pointing in, instead of down, so not yet! Wow, and I thought mine were fuzzy already! Look at her hair!

How is Fire Fly doing today - I find it a bit difficult to watch her here from the UK due to the time differences - she's outside right now as it is late lunchtime where you are and I will be in bed by the time you get her in! However I do manage to catch her in her stable for a few hours when I wake in the morning.

More pictures needed soon I think - she's such a pretty mare! I forget, but did you say she has foaled before?
 
Ugh!! This has to be the longest gestation. If she doesnt foal this wk the vet is coming back out. At this point we are thinking he bred after she was hand bred! UGH!!! If she doesnt foal this wk!!

WIll send pics this wk!
 
If she was out with the stallion for a while after you hand bred her, then it is possible that she didn't take at that first covering??

When did she actually start bagging up? That could give you an idea as to her possible dates?

Looking forward to more pics when you have a chance - know you are very busy - or will be interested to hear what your vet thinks if you decide to call him.

OMG FF, and I was wondering if perhaps she settled at a later breeding........ The waiting is just killer isn't it?!!?

Diane yes, in mid Sept. no matter how hot it is, like overnight the horses coats start to thicken. They are actually getting fuzzy already though our temps are still in the 90's and close to 100 during the day. The nights however, have cooled off from being close to 85 to 90 down in the low 60's so it's quite a drop at night now. To us, this is 'fall weather' and a big cool down from summer, LOL (However yes it does freeze here during the winter sometimes)
 
Here in the UK where most of the minis come from British Shetland breeding, they start looking fuzzy around the end of July/beginning of August! Interestingly, those who come here as imports from the warmer states in the USA and other countries, also start getting their fuzzies at the same time once they have been here for a year. Generations of breeding in warm climates is 'overtaken' by Mother Nature as soon as it becomes necessary - plus I have noticed that their coats are often more 'dense' than those of the natives.

The cat that visits is a grey color. We named her Super Fly aka Sue!!! They have become best buds!!!

THe weather here isnt bad. Just raining more then usual.

I dont know what gives. The vet doesnt want to come back out and palp. She for sure felt a foal and if she hasnt aborted she said just deal and wait. That her date is of and foal when ready!! UGH!!!

She looks the same. Once it stops raining, if it ever does. I will upload pics!!!
 
it must be so hard for you Lea
